"good that Americans now know what it's like to be vulnerable"

So, "Morris" is saying, nothing good can come from the Sep 11 tragedy, but
we can smash Afghanistan to bits and permit the tragedy of civilian deaths
in that country because it's good to go after bin Laden, no matter who gets
hurt in the process? So you're saying that American lives are worth more
than Afghani lives, I guess, at least when it comes to choosing the means
to achieve the Bush Administration's foreign policy goals. Sadly, I expect
that a lot of people in the US really do believe that's true.
Morris:
The obvious answer is the cause of this new awareness which can in no way be
called "good."

Why is it such a bad thing that "two-thirds or more of respondents outside
the United States said it was 'good that Americans now know what it's like
to be vulnerable.'"?
